In
Donna Alward’s Seducing the Sheriff,
Cassidy’s first foray into online dating is an unqualified disaster. Witness to
a bank robbery, she’s now in danger. Sexy sheriff Joe Lawson is willing do
whatever it takes to protect her, even if that means hiding her away in his
secluded mountain cabin.

In
Roping the Rancherby Sarah M. Anderson, all Tommy knows is girls his own age
don’t do it for him. Carly has no interest in being anyone’s cougar, but when
Tommy says he’ll do whatever she tells him to, she can’t resist the chance to
take what she wants from a man with no strings attached. But no one said
anything about scarves...

In
Jenna Bayley-Burke’s Captivating the
Cowboy, aspiring designer Jules is about to head to New York. Before
she leaves, she’s going to help widower Slade Weston find the perfect ranch
wife, but finding his forever turns into schmexytimes. Jules doesn’t want to be
a wife and mom, and Slade isn’t moving across the country. It’s just a fling,
until she’s not sure where she truly belongs.

When
the bank Cassidy is at is robbed, not only is she shocked and scared, she
recognizes the robber from his profile on the dating site, Not My First Rodeo.
With no way to tell if the robber recognized her from her profile, Joe, the
sexy sheriff she’s had her eye on, decides to hide her away at his home in the
mountains. One thing soon leads to another but he’s the sheriff and she’s the
woman he’s protecting. She knows people will talk, but are they willing to risk
it?

This
was fun with a slight element of suspense. Cassidy and Joe both feel something
for the other but they both have some baggage from their pasts they have to get
over first. It was a little slow in some spots. Still a fun read although this
felt more like an intro into a series. I really would have liked more from this
one.

This
one had to be my favorite from the set. I could not put it down.

When
Jules takes it upon herself to help Slade find a wife that’s suitable for life
on a ranch, she doesn’t intend to fall into bed with him but that’s exactly
what happens. Although she’s made it clear from the start, she’s leaving in a
few weeks so sexy fun time is all she’s offering. But, they’re starting to fall
for each other and when Slade sees how Jules and his two-year-old daughter
interact, he knows he’ll do anything to make her stay, even if she’s intent on
running.

Slade
and Jules were amazing. They were sizzling but what was so great about them is
that they were so open with each other. But they have a lot of hurts from the
past they need to work through and she’s afraid she’s won’t be enough for him
and his kids. This one did start out with insta-lust but quickly developed into
something more. And Jules was so headstrong, I really wanted to shake her and
ask her to open her eyes and see what was in front of her, but she finally
figured out what she was searching for.

I
just couldn’t get into this one. I’m not a fan of romances where the heroine is
so much older than the hero.
